This is ridiculous. They are not migrants. The are foreign nationals attempting illegal entry into Europe. And the captain of a vessel has the right to force off his vessel any invaders or pirates.
Drowning a man at sea is murder.
He murdered that guy.
Would you have approved if he had shot him while floating in the water?
How about if he smashed his head open with an ax?
I am totally against any more immigration into the US, and think we should seal the borders, etc., but I sure as heck don’t believe we should start murdering everyone who tries to sneak into a country...

I think there is a “generally accepted Law of the Sea” and it will probably absolve this skipper of any blame - it should.
